same goes for the beach clubs. they used to be simple chiringuitos where you got good fish or paellas at decent prices. not cheap, but no rip-off. now you've got VIP tables even there and that is just ridiculous.
Thats one of the things that p*sses me off the most about this whole thing. That (nearly) every chiringuito is going down the route stivi outlines. Day beds, VIP , minimum spend, waitresses all in black or white , "champagne sponsor vueve cliquot" b*llocks. I just want a simple day at the beach with some reasonably priced nice food (preferably local) and no pretentiousness, but its becoming harder to find.
